I am agree with Andreas, but if you don't want to use the path
/WEB-INF/myFile.properties
Properties files can be found exactly like any other classes, if there
are present in the classpath, the classpath for your web-app starts from
/WEB-INF/classes, then if you put the file in the path
/WEB-INF/classes/myFile.properties, you can access it with the code:
servletContext.getResourceAsStream("myFile.properties");
or
this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("myFile.properties");
as you like.
